kubota mx5000

Hi All, I am bouncing back and forth on what size flail mower to run on an MX5000 (50 hp engine, 44 "claimed hp" at the PTO). My main use will be to reclaim and then maintain perimeters of productive hay fields. The first pass may be brushy, but subsequent mowing would be just grass...

My buddy has this near new tractor and is pondering adding a top and tilt to help with box and rear blade work. I know that some of you dudes have come up with more affordable methods of gathering the needed parts and pieces to get this type of job done. Kubota does still have kits that would...

Hello all! First post. I have a Question on the MX5000 4wd. I have a leak of hydraulic fluid from around the gear shift lever. I was on a medium incline and the fluid popped off the boot and shot out like a geyser! I removed the shifter to inspect the seal. The shifter came out with a pop...

I have a MX5000 about 12 years old. I use it a lot with forks to move logs and brush on my timbered property. There is no protection over the front of the grill in front of the battery and limbs are continually punching through the grill work and hitting the battery which is right inside the...

Thinking about selling my mx5000dt and getting a cab tractor. What is a fair price these days for one. It has 280 hours with the lighter duty front end loader.

Looking at buying a 07 MX5000 4wd with the LB702 loader. Tractor and loader have just over 400 hours on it. Wanting to use it as our all around yard tractor, rototill the garden and in between the rows of trees, drag the laneway, lift hogs and butcher cattle for skinning and dressing, lift and...

Hello, I have a 2004 MX5000DT. Having trouble when starting. While warming up, it starts smoking likes the dickens, then stalls. It's like the choke is sticking closed. I have been able to get it started at other times when this has happened and then it runs fine, but now it won't start. As...

Hello, I am a new member living in the St. Louis, Missouri area. I recently purchased a new Kubota B3350. I also own a Kubota MX5000 and a Kubota FZ2100 mower. I have 11 acres where I cut and bale a little hay, raise a few steers for beef, and am forced to feed the wife's horse. I have often...

I have a Kubota MX5000 I recently changed the fuel filter. When I opened the fuel filter cock it seemed like the fuel flow was restricted. I filled the bowl with fuel and bleed the line. Seemed alright, ran fine for about ten minutes, then stalled. All of the fuel in the filter had been...

When my tractor warms up it stops running. I have replaced the fuel filter, but the fuel will not completely stop flowing when the turnoff valve is closed. I am going out to bleed the system now. Hopefully this solves the problem.

I need some help. I have a 2010 Kubota MX5000 with a LB 702 loader. I want to get a backhoe attachment for the tractor. I have found out from Kubota that the BH92 backhoe won't fit my machine. My alternate choice was a Wallenstein GX920 backhoe. I have found out that they do not make a...

Really 2 questions. I have a 2001 mx5000dt w 221 hours. When under a heavy load or if I quickly hit the floor throttle it will blow bluefish/white smoke. It will do this even at full operating temperature. Is this normal? Otherwise, it seems to run and sound fine. Also, I noticed this weekend...

My buddy his changing the hydraulic fluid in his MX5000 and he said the manual indicated there are four drains. He found three of them but couldn't find the fourth one. Is there really four of them? If there is he will keep looking.

Hi, I have a 4wd MX5000 with loaded rear tires. Do you think it would pull a 3pt, 3-bottom mould board plough in Sand-Loam? It's an old Ford plough with tripping shares, coulters. My next question is will the tractor pick it up off the ground with the 3pt ? I think this is probably a very heavy...

So I have been reading a good bit about the reasons to stick with the Kubota UDT or super UDT. But my tractor is a 2003 model with the standard old school gear style transmission, high/low with 4 on the floor. Is it still worth using the kubota brand? Seems like the consensus is yes if you have...

Any suggestions for a canopy for my 2005 MX5000. Decided to get out of the sun when I am bush hogging. Thanks for any suggestions!

Do you have to use a Kubota oil filter when changing oil or can I use a high grade mobile oil filter?

Have a 2007 Kubota MX5000. Was going to change coolant , flush yesterday, etc. Where is the drain plug? Took a copy of shop manual with me, shows "radiator drain plug" close to oil filter. Saw a line going around the oil filter, assumed it was a oil line. Looked and looked for a drain plug and...

I have a 2003 mx5000dt with LB702 FEL. Does anyone with a FEL also run front weights? Asking because I just bought the 24-20 harrow from EA Everything Attachments Xtreme Duty Large Deluxe Box Frame Disc Harrow. Sucker is heavy. It seems to pull fine, but thought adding some weight would not hurt.

Hi, I made a video of some of the things I do with my 2005 Kubota MX5000. I thought you might be interested. Stuff I do with my tractor - YouTube Bye for now,

I have an L4300DT with ag tires that i use for landscaping purposes. I do not have a loader on it and don't want one. But I need a little more power and have been thinking of going up a notch to a used MX5000DT-ag tires or even a new MX5100DT-ag tires. Maybe even an L4600DT but I don't think...

I'm looking at getting a Woods BH90-X backhoe for my MX5000. It has a Woods LC108 loader on it already. My question is, is it better to purchase the PTO pump with the hoe for $1295 or run it off the tractor hydraulics? The tractor's pump is big enough to run it as far as I can tell but which...

Hi, I have a JD T100 integral disc. It is 3pt and is about 10' wide. I think this would be called an offset disc (4 gangs in an 'X' pattern). It will need some rebuilding, but I got it for free and have already made most of the parts. Will my MX5000 pull it? Will it lift it? The tractor has a...

Hi, I recently bought an MX5000 DT and I'm wondering when they started production, and ended ? Thanks, Troy

I'd like to order a pair for my 2006 Kubota MX 5000, but I am a long way from the tractor for several months. Impossible for me to measure the slide-out dimensions. Does anybody have the dimensions?

My MX5000 has developed an electrical issue lately, and it seems to be getting worse. The tractor will be running normally, when all of a sudden the fuel pump solenoid will begin clicking sporadically, and the engine will spit and sputter and eventually cut off completely. Even after it has...

Coming up on first hyd oil change, and the question is,,,,what brand oil to use. Did a trip to Agri Supply today for some mower blades and looked at Warren Hyd Oil. Is this a good brand to use? Or should I be using something else?

A friend of mine just bought a Mx5000 and does not have the manual yet. He's having trouble with the three pt. hitch raising. He's added 2 gallon of hydraulic oil and still doesn't see it in the site glass. How much oil does it take? His trouble started after removing the FEL. He never lost...

Hi y'all: I need both the owner's manual and the technical manual for our 2008 Kubota MX5000DT. Any thoughts on where I can get these from? I guess I can get them from a dealer but is there anywhere less expensive? Also, what can I expect to pay for these manuals? Thanks!

Hi ya'll. I've lurked and read everything on here for a month or so now and this past Saturday, we bought a 2008 Kubota MX5000DT with FEL. We picked it up today and I am SOOOOO excited!!!! It's only been off the trailer now for about an hour and I'm already in love with it! The whole tractor is...

I want to add a FEL to my MX5000 and need advice on the best (most affordable) way to go about it. I look on e-bay. I have posted a request on Craigslist. I keep going to my Kubota dealer and hoping that the price of a new, Kubota FEL has mysteriously dropped well below the ~$4,000 that he...

I'm looking at buying a front end loader for my MX5000 sometime in the spring. The local yokal Kubota dealer told me it would be 4700 for a FEL plus 360 for the hay spike. I seem to remember them being less expensive then that when I was buying the tractor. Also, I have heard that bush hog...

Hi all, I am new here, did quite a bit of reading here and have just purchased a brand new MX5000 4WD with loader, its my first new tractor. I was able to get a good deal because it was a leftover but still brand new... My neighbor owns a barn full of Kubotas and he was a big influence in my...

What all is involved in getting a draft control lever installed on a tractor? There is a slot for the draft control and when I bought it the dealer said it could be installed later. I was thinking of doing this myself since I am pretty handy with this kind of thing. Is there a kit available...

I have a MX5000 and I was trying to use it to make raised bed rows for my garden. I have an old 2 bottom ford plow which I used to turn the land, then a 5 ft rotary tiller that I tilled it up with. I tried to make rows with this middle buster that I had and it is basically worthless from what...

Hi guys, Long time reader, first time poster. I bit the bullet and picked up a new Kubota MX5000 last weekend, LA852 Loader w/QA and canopy installed. Out the door 23,200 with loader/canopy so after shopping it around in Texas, this was pretty good I think..... Did I do ok? Thanks, PTF

Anybody know? I read that the MX5100, which replaced the MX5000, has a turbo charged engine and a syncro-shuttle transmission. I'm just assuming the turbo was added to offset the new 2008 emission standards because they are rated at having the same PTO hp of 44. I wonder if the fuel economy...

At about 10 hrs. I noticed oil dripping from the clutch housing. Contacted dealer and brought in. Took about 2 weeks to get the seal in. Now with 21 hrs. on my tractor, oil is dripping from the clutch housing again. Called the dealer today, of course they said bring it in, we'll fix it. Has...

Looking at tractors and thought I had narrowed it down to the L3400. However, today I find a MX5000 that will cost only 500 more than a L3400. The MX is two wheel drive not four. I don't need four wheel drive, at least I dont' think I do. 1. Is there that much difference in 2 vs 4 wheel...

Well we've had our MX5000 for three months now. After much haranging we finally got the FEL bale spear that fits our LA853 loader. The biggest question we had about the tractor was its ability to pick up large round bales and deliver them to our farmstead at the top of a steep hill, up 20%+...

Hi Folks, WWR( Little Whirlwind Ranch) I am new to the forum. I am the proud owner of a 1949 8N (you gotta love em"). However I just bought a MX 5000 W/a 782 FEL and a Bush Hog SBX720. I looked it over today and it looks to be a very nice machine. Paid $22,300 for all. I think that it was a...

Hi folks, I came across this forum during my tractor search. It took awhile to get approved to post so this is a 'look over the shoulder' at the tractor I decided on as of yesterday so I'm asking if you think this is a fair price and the right tractor: We have a 20 horse farm so I need a...

I swung by my local Kubota dealer and asked if he had any end of the year deals on anything in stock. He quoted me $21,900 for an MX5000DT 4WD LA852 FEL w/ SSQA. This seems like a fair to great price and it's gotten me to thinking: 1) The JD5105 looks comparable. What would a similarly...

Is there anyone here that has a htl on their MX5000? Wayne

New tractor arrived yesterday. We got an MX5000 with 4wd, ag tires, and LA852 loader. Spent yesterday and today moving the rear wheels out. Unfortunately the dealer forgot to put ballast in the tires. Fortunately this made them a lot easier to adjust. Saved my back on the second tire &...

We will soon be getting a MX5000 4wd with loader. We plan to go to round bales for feeding. That's one reason we went with the heavier loader, in order to get a quick detach bucket. Dealer quote for a FEL spear is $525. Good price? Some here have experience moving round bales. We're...

Greetings forum. I will soon be the proud owner of a new MX5000 and will thus join the clan. Wahoo! Can't wait. This forum has been a goldmine of information; thanks to all. Now I have some specific questions. The tractor will see hard use. I hope to dig with the FEL extensively. Right...

Greetings. This forum has been a tremendous help in my efforts to decide what tractor to buy. I'm down to the wire now. Here's my situation: We have 55 acres comprised of a hillside and 2 acre hilltop, plus 65 acres adjoining in our extended family, located in Middle Tennessee. About 30...

I have a 2005 Kubota MX5000 and not too long ago, bought a used Woods BH9000 backhoe attachment and subframe. I really like the backhoe, but like some others out there, would like to speed up the simultaneous swing, dipper, and boom functions. My tractor stats. show the tractor pump is 14gpm...

I started by checking this site and the few prices I could find online. Then I sent emails to 3 Kubota dealers asking for prices. Jeff Dean, of Deen Implement Co., responded quickly with an easy to read quote. (Please don’t use them for quotes if you don’t have any intention of buying from...

I'm looking to buy a MX5000 with an LB702 FEL and R4 tires and wanted to know if anyone could fill me in on thier thoughts about this tractor and pricing please. I will be purchasing a 7 ft bush hog or woods mower for those 30-35 acrer jobs. I own the L3400 with LA463 FEL and really like the...

Hello, What size of trailer do I need for a mx5000 with FEL, mower, and loader tires?

What are the main differences?

After looking through stacks of information on the three tractors, I am finding myself more unsure as to which tractor may be best for me. I want to put a FEL on it and plan on doing a fair amount of bush hogging and tilling. I would be interested in all comments pro's and con's as well as...

I am looking to purchase a 4wd 50 hp tractor. I am interested in the Kubota MX5000 or the m4800. I will be using a loader. Has anyone had any experience with these 2 tractors?

I'm new to the forum, and am one of those trying to figure out the tractor I need. It will be used for mowing aprox 15 ac, plowing food plots twice a year, maintaining a driveway, and light timber hauling, mostly for firewood. I have driven the Mahindra 3510 and 4110, the New Holland TC39, and...

Narrowed my choice to these two. Pretty well eliminated the Grand L's. Any pros or cons anyone know of with these two. MX5000 is a little more HP but for my bush hogging and dirt moving I think either would do. Price difference is about $1500 more for MX5000. Loaders are different but not...

Kubota MX5000 remote I would like to add 1 set of rear remote hydraulics to my MX5000. Do I have to use a factory kit or is there an after-market kit available. What is the part # of the factory kit and what should I look out for in installation of either.

We am purchasing one of these, but would like some advise on which one. We have 20+ acres and would primarily be using the tractor for mowing. I'll be adding a loader in the next year. The 50 horse will pull a bigger mower but is it worth the loss of 4wd. We live in FL and the land is fairly flat.

Other than engine and HP, which is the best value of these 3 Kubota beauties...and what's a good price new for each w/o any options?

TT55 or Kub MX5000 I have narrowed my search to these tractors. And maybe a Case JX55. I'm not planning on getting a FEL right away, however I may add one next summer. I'm really just wanting a 40+ PTO utility tractor to do chores and maintian my property. Reliability is my number 1 goal...

I AM REPLACING A MASSEY 135. I THOUGHT I WANTED A L4400 BUT THE DEALER HERE SAYS I NEED A MX 5000 TO GET THE 852 LOADER. HE SAYS THE 703 ON THE 4400 WONT BE BIG ENOUGH TO MOVE ROUND BALES.OTHER THAN THAT I WILL BE MOWING SOME CULTIVATION AND CLEANING UP BRUSH.ANY THOUGHTS

I am trying to determine which is the best tractor for me. I understand the down side to the collar shift with the 5203; however, I have a MF245 now so I am okay with stopping to shift. Should I be concerned with the 5203 being a 3-cylinder tractor vs. a 4-cylinder? The old 50 and 55 series...

I purchased a MX5000 this past weekend and I'm anticipating delivery soon. I need some advice on choosing a rotary cutter / bush hog for this tractor. I have some rough land to reclaim but I don't want to spend $1500 on a new heavy duty bush hog. I'm looking at brands King Cutter, Bushhog...

I am looking at the mx5000 did not get a chance to drive one, but the dealers keep telling me not to buy the mx5000 that I will not like them. to go with the grand L series ,but the 5000 seems to have more room as I am 6`2" and 230 lbs.I sat on them when dealer was closed ,but spoke to them on...

Hi: I posted a similar message but no replies. I changed the heading. I am trying to get a comparison from owners who may own either, as to the performance, satisfaction, type of usage, etc. I need to decide which will best fit my needs. Thanks, LaLa

The MX 5000 appears to be a fairly new line from Kubota. I am trying to decide between it and the more proven M4900. I will use it to maintain about 40 acres, partly pastured, partly wooded. Will welcome any information from someone with experience with either model. The M4900 is about 4k...

How do I get an idea of what my tractor is worth? I am about to pay off my loan to Kubota Credit and want some idea of what the value of my " investment " is. With cars and trucks there are all kinds of web sites with such information. How about with tractors? Kubotas specifically? Just...

Short and sweet These are from two different dealers MX 5000, 4WD, R4's, $17,500 plus tax M4800SU, 2WD, R1's, 13,500 plus tax The MX 5000 is close to my property (within 40 miles) The M 4800SU is from a dealer about 100 miles away.

I had been comparing an L4630 and an MX5000 for my 60 acre horse farm. I haven't used HST before but I got a chance to spend some time on a 4630 HST yesterday. I'm not kean on the pedal arrangement, but I like the idea of HST. The problem is using the brakes to make a tight turn. The MX5000 has...

Any thoughts on the relative merits of each? I expect to spend a lot of time on the tractor bush hogging, finish mowing, grading and leveling horse arenas, putting in fences, trail and wood lot maintenance on 60 fairly level acres.

Anyone know where I can get a manual without paying $60.00 for it? Just took delivery today. Worked great so far but only put 2 hours on it.

I am ready to purchase a new tractor, the MX 5000 seems to fit the bill, but it is so new that there is not a lot of information out there. Does any one here at TBN own one, have any information on it or can give me a idea of what is a good price on one. I am looking at the 4wd model with kubota...

Has anyone seen this new model? (at least I think it's new) I just saw a picture of it today, and it appears to fix between the L4610, and the M series models. Sure looks sweet. Pricing was around 17k, but the ad did not specify 4wd, loader,etc. Maybe time to go shopping again.

It finely stopped raining long enough to get some seat time and man what a different tractor from the massey I traded in. I moved some brush piles and large trees that had blown down in a storm last spring. with the loader I was able to do in a day what would have taken a week are longer and...

Can anyone explain how the MX5000 differs from the rest of the M series line? I have been unable to find stats for this new tractor. My local dealer does not have a brochure. Basically it looks less ag that the rest of the Ms, but if the transmission options are the same (i.e. no hydrostat)...

I am on the verge of buying a MX5000 but see nothing here about this model. Are they that new? Anyone have any experience, news, ideas, guesses about this model. It looks to be just the size I need at a reasonable price.

As described in the "Kubota other" forum, the comparison of the MX to the others (JD, MF, and NH). Marie

For those of you looking at an M series at a B/L price... here is the tractor for you... Marie
